A representative for Taylor Swift has brushed off "crap" reports suggesting the pop star has gone gay after she appeared to kiss her model pal Karlie Kloss at a rock concert in New York City. A fan caught the singer getting close to Kloss while attending The 1975 show with fellow Victoria's Secret models Lily Aldridge and Martha Hunt on Thursday night (04Dec14) and posted a blurry photograph of the best pals leaning in to one another on Twitter.com.
In the accompanying caption, the devotee wrote, "exclusive taylor and karlie making out confirmed."
The snap fuelled blog gossip suggesting the girls were more than just friends, but a spokesperson for Swift, who performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London on Tuesday (02Dec14), has shut down the claims.
In a statement released to the New York Daily News on Friday (05Dec14), the publicist writes, "It's sad that on the day it's announced Taylor has three Grammy nominations for Shake It Off, I have to shake off this crap."
Swift scored nods for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Shake It Off when the nominations were unveiled on Friday.
She has previously been romantically linked to the likes of Joe Jonas, John Mayer and actor Jake Gyllenhaal, but has been single since splitting from One Direction star Harry Styles last year (13).

Is there a reason all coming of age movies are set during summer? The latest in the genre, Very Good Girls, stars Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen as two young women dealing with the usual teenage roadblocks: out of touch parents, dreamy crushes, creepy Peter Sargaard, and the everpresent issue of heading off to college as virgins. During their last summer together before the rest of their lives, the two make a pact to lose the V-card that's been burning a hole in their pockets, but both girls start making googly eyes at the same guy. Very Good Girls sounds like the inverse of the countless raunchy high school comedies where young men want to lose their virginity before going off to college like their loins are timed explosives. In any case, Very Good Girls looks like a poignant indie drama.
Both Olsen and Fanning come from two very different acting families, and both families have weathered career ups and downs over the years. We've decided to compare the two sets of sisters to see who comes out on top.
YouTube/JoBlo Movie Trailers, Tribeca Film
THE OLSENS
Members: Elizabeth, Mary Kate, and Ashley
Pros: Full House of course! During the back half of the '80s and even the early '90s, the Olsen twins were America's favorite toddler, and that nation/toddler relationship blossomed until about the time Michelle Tanner started speaking... and then we never ever wanted to see her ever again. You don't got it dude. But those few silent years of Full House were comforting and safe, just like any family sitcom should be.
Elizabeth on the other hand has improbably managed to step out of the shadow of her famous sisters and become a full-fledged actor. Critics sung her praises in films like Martha Marcy May Marlene, and the actress won numerous accolades for her acting ability. She also recently starred opposite a Aaron Taylor-Johnson in mega-blockbuster Godzilla. If that wasn't enough, Olsen is starring in next summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will probably be the biggest movie ever... or at least until Avengers 3.
Cons: Full House giveth and Full House taketh away. We had to endure several years of twin themed nonsense from the elder Olsens, and there were enough TV movies and direct to video shenanigans to take up an entire section of Planet Video back in the day. Soon enough, the world grew tired of the Olsen twins and their songs about pizza, and their mystery solving, and whatever else they used to do. Despite their efforts, they softly faded out of public consciousness and into NYU. As for Elizabeth, there's nothing bad to say about her so far. Sure, she wasn't given much of anything to do in Godzilla, but that's not her fault, Godzilla was too busy crushing everything.
THE FANNINGS
Members: Dakota and Elle
Pros: The Fannings were never a genuine media sensation like the Olsens were. Their stars never shone as bright. But that also means that their careers didn't have a chance to supernova. Both young actresses transitioned from child star to bona fide actor rather painlessly, and have built their careers on a mix of smaller films and bigger blockbusters to keep people from pigeonholing them. The Fanning longevity and the demise of the Olsen twins can likely be contributed to the fact that the Fannings were always actresses first, and cutesy tiny people second, and their roles reflected that. Now, instead of only one member of the Olsen family steadily working in film, the Fannings have two. Case in point: Elle Fanning just appeared in Maleficent opposite Angelina Jolie.
Cons: For a couple of years in the mid 2000s it did feel like Dakota Fanning was the only working child actress, and she came close to feeling overexposed. Luckily Chloe Moretz came just in the nick of time to give us a breather. Other than that, neither actress has been terribly ambitious with her role choices. Neither Fanning has a role as universally praised as Elizabeth Olsen's turn in Martha Marcy May Marlene, but even if they lack a genuine career high point, they make up for it in general consistency. The Fannings never disappeared of the face of the earth like the Olsens did for a few years.
WINNER
We have to give it to the Fannings. Elizabeth Olsen certainly has more star power than either Fanning right now, but she's only one person. The Olsen twins have mostly left Hollywood behind, and one person does not an acting family make. Conversely, both Elle and Dakota Fanning have put in consistently solid work over the years, and it helps that their fame never rested on a twin gimmick.

DreamWorks
For the bulk of every Rocky and Bullwinkle episode, moose and squirrel would engage in high concept escapades that satirized geopolitics, contemporary cinema, and the very fabrics of the human condition. With all of that to work with, there's no excuse for why the pair and their Soviet nemeses haven't gotten a decent movie adaptation. But the ingenious Mr. Peabody and his faithful boy Sherman are another story, intercut between Rocky and Bullwinkle segments to teach kids brief history lessons and toss in a nearly lethal dose of puns. Their stories and relationship were much simpler, which means that bringing their shtick to the big screen would entail a lot more invention — always risky when you're dealing with precious material.
For the most part, Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman handles the regeneration of its heroes aptly, allowing for emotionally substance in their unique father-son relationship and all the difficulties inherent therein. The story is no subtle metaphor for the difficulties surrounding gay adoption, with society decreeing that a dog, no matter how hyper-intelligent, cannot be a suitable father. The central plot has Peabody hosting a party for a disapproving child services agent and the parents of a young girl with whom 7-year-old Sherman had a schoolyard spat, all in order to prove himself a suitable dad. Of course, the WABAC comes into play when the tots take it for a spin, forcing Peabody to rush to their rescue.
Getting down to personals, we also see the left brain-heavy Peabody struggle with being father Sherman deserves. The bulk of the emotional marks are hit as we learn just how much Peabody cares for Sherman, and just how hard it has been to accept that his only family is growing up and changing.
DreamWorks
But more successful than the new is the film's handling of the old — the material that Peabody and Sherman purists will adore. They travel back in time via the WABAC Machine to Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, and the Trojan War, and 18th Century France, explaining the cultural backdrop and historical significance of the settings and characters they happen upon, all with that irreverent (but no longer racist) flare that the old cartoons enjoyed. And oh... the puns.
Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman is a f**king treasure trove of some of the most amazingly bad puns in recent cinema. This effort alone will leave you in awe.
The film does unravel in its final act, bringing the science-fiction of time travel a little too close to the forefront and dropping the ball on a good deal of its emotional groundwork. What seemed to be substantial building blocks do not pay off in the way we might, as scholars of animated family cinema, have anticipated, leaving the movie with an unfinished feeling.
But all in all, it's a bright, compassionate, reasonably educational, and occasionally funny if not altogether worthy tribute to an old favorite. And since we don't have our own WABAC machine to return to a time of regularly scheduled Peabody and Sherman cartoons, this will do okay for now.
If nothing else, it's worth your time for the puns.
3/5

Actress Elizabeth Olsen has confirmed reports she has joined the cast of The Avengers sequel Age of Ultron. Samuel L. Jackson let it slip that the Martha Marcy May Marlene star had landed the role of Scarlet Witch in the film last month (Oct13), and now she is speaking out about joining the superhero film franchise.
She'll team up with Aaron Taylor-Johnson - her co-star in upcoming monster movie Godzilla - who will play her twin brother Quicksilver in The Avengers movie.
She says, "We get to play husband and wife (in Godzilla), and we get to play twin brother and sister. It's also fun because even though in Godzilla we play husband and wife, we don't have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I'm so excited... I think it's going to be fun."
Olsen also can't wait to start working with director Joss Whedon, adding, "He's very smart. He's too smart. He might be too smart. Some people are too smart for their own good, but he's amazing."

Fine Line Features
It’s hard to believe, but this Halloween marked the 20th anniversary of River Phoenix’s death. The actor had yet to reach his peak when he died of a drug overdose outside The Viper Room in Hollywood at only twenty-three years old. Phoenix was often referred to as the new James Dean, and as hyperbolic as that may sound, it was actually very true – Phoenix displayed a truthful and raw intensity in all his roles that projected a maturity beyond his years, which is impressive considering that he had grown up having never seeing a film in his life. His short career inspired a legion of actors and his death allowed actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp to have the careers they had. The troubled actor was also heavily involved with environmental organizations: he had famously bought a section of the Amazon rainforest after receiving his first big check, just so that portion of the forest couldn’t be cut down. Sensitive and intelligent, Phoenix was more than just a pretty face – he was a one-of-a-kind performer that brought authenticity to every role he played. (But damn, that face sure was pretty.)
Explorers Ok, so Explorers isn’t exactly award-winning material, but it's Phoenix’s first feature film and is adorably weird. The film is a dorky sci-fi fantasy that has a chubby-faced Phoenix (who looks like the stereotypical image you get when you hear the words “President of the AV Club”) starring alongside a young Ethan Hawke (bonus point of greatness: Phoenix’s character is named Wolfgang). The boys somehow come up with a magic machine out of a Tilt-A-Whirl cart and cruise around different galaxies, so the film is obviously awesome. Though it didn’t fare well in box office sales, the film went on to acquire a cult following.
Stand By Me Truly one of the best coming-of-age films, Stand By Me was only Phoenix’s second feature film. The movie was well-acted by all the leads, but Phoenix showed a maturity beyond his fourteen years. Stand By Me was also when he began his trademark trend of being able to steal the entire movie he was in with just one scene. For the famous scene by the fire in which Phoenix’s character breaks down after sharing his disappointment of a teacher betraying him, director Rob Reiner reportedly told the actor to think of the saddest moment in his life – once the scene was over, Phoenix was still crying uncontrollably. The depth that Phoenix brought to the role was effortlessly translated on the screen and immediately turned him into a star, full on with both critical acclaim and Tiger Beat covers.
Running On Empty A storyline that had similarities with the actor’s own life, Running On Empty had Phoenix starring alongside Judd Hirsch, Christine Lahti, and Phoenix’s then-girlfriend, Martha Plimpton. The film finds Phoenix living as the son of two fugitives on the run from the FBI for an anti-war protest bombing of a napalm lab. The family had to constantly move around and change their identities, harking back to Phoenix’s own nomadic childhood during his family's days in the controversial Children of God cult. The scene of Phoenix’s confession about his identity to Plimpton’s character in the garden was hands-down the best scene in the film, and his performance ended up getting him an Oscar nomination at the ripe young age of seventeen.
Dogfight Dogfight is such an overlooked and underrated film, not only in Phoenix’s filmography, but just in general. The Nancy Savoka–directed flick is set in Vietnam War-era San Francisco and has a deceptively simple storyline: Phoenix plays an eighteen year-old Marine who takes Lili Taylor out on a date the night before he’s shipped off to Vietnam – what Taylor’s character doesn’t know is that Phoenix is taking her to a “dogfight,” a pretty evil game the other Marines play in which the soldiers compete for cash for who can bring the ugliest date. Taylor finds out and leaves, Phoenix follows, and voila – sappy rom-com, right? Except Dogfight somehow manages to be a wonderfully profound movie that avoids stereotypes and predictability, instead illuminating the nature of human relationships. Both Taylor and Phoenix’s performances are brilliant, and their adorably awkward bedroom scenes are so realistic, you’ll be cringing in your seat along with them. Plus, the film gives Musical Bingo some cred by making it spark some serious foreplay, so that’s totally awesome, too.
The Thing Called Love Though it’s definitely not the best film in his catalogue, The Thing Called Love is a great movie just for Phoenix’s crazy chemistry with Samantha Mathis, who he was wooing during filming (spoiler: he succeeded). It also has a charming Dylan McDermott and a young Sandra Bullock, just before she broke through with Speed. The film revolves around country music, but even if country isn’t your thing, the songs are still enjoyable and, making it even better, the actors actually sing their own songs. Phoenix initially wanted to be a musician and had a band called Aleka’s Attic alongside his sister Rain, so getting to see/hear Phoenix’s musical chops is a treat. The film is also Phoenix’s last completed film, and despite the fact that Phoenix was obviously strung out during filming, the charm and complexity he brought out in his character makes the film worth it.
My Own Private Idaho Considered to be Phoenix’s magnum opus, My Own Private Idaho has Gus Van Sant directing in all his weird, ethereal glory. The film is essentially an entanglement of two stories, one of Phoenix on a mission to find his long-lost mother, and the other revolving around Keanu Reeves in a loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry IV and Henry V. Phoenix plays a narcoleptic street hustler who’s in love with Reeves, his wealthy best friend who is really just playing gay-for-pay to rebel against his father. The film is notable for its Shakespearian dialogues and dreamy sequences symbolizing Phoenix’s character’s narcolepsy, but it’s Phoenix who makes the film the treasure that it is, serving as the heart and soul of the entire movie. The famous campfire scene where Phoenix professes his love to an uncomfortable Reeves was mostly rewritten by Phoenix himself, and the result is one of the most heartbreaking and well-acted scenes in film. My Own Private Idaho is when Phoenix allegedly began using drugs, and the character he played is eerily similar to perceptions of Phoenix – sadly conflicted, passionate and generous, jaded and tired, yet idealistic and innocent.

In Martha Wells’ new novel Star Wars Empire and Rebellion: Razor's Edge (out Sept. 24) Princess Leia gets the spotlight. Considering that Del Rey’s ongoing line of Expanded Universe books have charted more than 40 years of Her Worship’s life, what more is there to learn? Easy. Wells is diving deep into the aftermath of the most traumatic part of Leia’s life: the destruction of her home planet, Alderaan. Razor’s Edge is about how, two years after the events of A New Hope, Leia encounters survivors of Alderaan who’ve responded to their loss in a very different, and much more violent, way than she has.
“I think the destruction of Alderaan is such a huge, dark, apocalyptic moment in the middle of an exciting adventure story, and that makes it difficult to address,” Wells says of why previous Star Wars storytelling has often glossed over the planet’s destruction. “It's such a terrible moment for Leia, it's going to affect everything she feels and says and does for the rest of her life. She'll never be free of it, never be past it, she just has to be live with it. And I think to a large extent it would be like that for all the survivors. It was just very interesting to me to think about how different individuals would deal with it, and what their reactions would be, and how it would change them.”
The period of the Original Trilogy has already been largely explored — not just in the movies, but in Marvel’s line of Star Wars comics from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and, of course, Alan Dean Foster’s classic Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, considered the first Expanded Universe novel. “I actually read the old Marvel comics and Splinter of the Mind's Eye when they came out, but I didn't go back and read them again,” Wells says. “I was a huge Star Wars fan, especially right after the movies came out, and wrote and read a lot of fan fiction set during that period. I did watch A New Hope again, but I'd spent so much time and imagination in that period when I was in high school and college that immersing myself back in it was pretty easy.”
There have been a lot of different interpretations of Leia over the years, many of which emphasize her skills as a diplomat. In Razor’s Edge, Wells wanted to capture the fierce Leia who could blast her way out of the Death Star’s detention block. “I think the key is not just seeing Leia as a stereotypical strong woman character, but as someone who is young but is a leader, who has taken on huge responsibilities, but also as someone who has an epic temper and can be sarcastic, and can make mistakes,” Wells says. “She's not a perfect princess, she's a person with flaws and vulnerabilities who manages to do what she needs to do anyway, and I think those things were conveyed in Carrie Fisher's performance.”

Metara invited them to sit down. Leia took a seat on one of the couches, and Han flopped down beside her, seemingly unconcerned. Terae’s gaze flicked over them suspiciously, and Leia tried to see her group through the other woman’s eyes: Han dangerous, Sian cool and calm, and Kifar stoic. Leia had no idea what she looked like. She suspected she just looked angry.
She watched Metara silently. She wasn’t interested in exchanging pleasantries, especially as there was no telling how much this delay might already be hurting the injured aboard the merchant ship. She waited to hear what Metara wanted to say.
Metara broke the silence abruptly. “We didn’t watch Alderaan be destroyed and then suddenly decide to become pirates. That isn’t what happened.”
Leia inclined her head slightly. “What did happen?”
Metara took a deep breath. “We were in the outer perimeter of the system. We intercepted some Imperial transmissions and realized that an attack was taking place. We set a course for Alderaan but didn’t arrive in time. We never actually saw the Death Star.” Her expression tightened at the name, as if it still cost her something to say it aloud. Leia knew how that felt. “Our sensors and communications were taken out by the blast wave, and we had to stop and make repairs. We had no idea what had happened, at first. Then we were finally able to make our way back and picked up the edge of the debris field. It was . . . a terrible moment.”
Watching Metara intently, Leia realized that the captain had thought a lot about how she would explain what had happened, though it was doubtful that she had ever cast Leia in the role of the person she would be explaining it to. Perhaps she had rehearsed the speech in her thoughts, imagining herself justifying her actions to her commanding officer, or one of her parents, or a mentor. That didn’t bode well. It meant that Metara had been shoring up her defenses for a long time.
When Leia didn’t respond, Kelvan said, “Everyone on the crew had lost . . . everyone, everything. Our families came from Chianar, Aldera . . .” At the mention of the Alderaanian capital, he shifted in embarrassment and looked away, as if suddenly remembering who Leia was. That she had lost everyone, too.
Her voice a challenge, Terae said, “Where were you, Your Highness? When it happened.”
“I was aboard the Death Star,” Leia said, keeping her tone cool, hoping she was betraying nothing. She had rehearsed this, too, and performed it so often she could do it as evenly as if she were speaking of some minor diplomatic incident.
Terae stared, and Metara’s brow knit. Aghast, Kelvan said, “I thought that was a rumor.”
“There are many rumors about what happened, but that one is true. I . . . escaped,” she said, not looking at Han, “not long after. I was on Yavin Four when the Death Star was destroyed.”

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's little sister is reportedly in talks to play Scarlet Witch in director Joss Whedon's The Avengers sequel. Elizabeth Olsen appears to have replaced Irish actress Saorise Ronan as the frontrunner for the role.
If cast, the Martha Marcy May Marlene star will most likely join Kick-Ass hero Aaron Taylor-Wood onscreen - he recently confirmed that he has had discussions about playing Scarlet Witch's brother Quicksilver.
It won't be the first time he has teamed up onscreen with Olsen - they will appear together onscreen in the upcoming Godzilla remake.

News Pictures/WENN
You have to wonder if Nick Fury had this much trouble getting people to actually join the Avengers Initiative (it never appeared to take much more than a brief post-credits scene to rope anybody in). You'd think it'd be even easier to get someone on board with simply playing the Avengers in a movie — better pay, fewer risks of death — but recent news had Saoirse Ronan passing on the part of Scarlet Witch. Reports from Bleeding Cool, however, are that Elizabeth Olsen is in talks to replace the Hanna star as the Marvel heroine in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Originally conceived as a villain — a member, alongside twin brother Quicksilver (who has been all but been officially handed to Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the blockbuster sequel) of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants due to a debt owed to X-Men's evil mastermind Magneto — the Scarlet Witch turned her allegiances to justice and used her superpowers of "influencing probability" to fight alongside the Avengers.
New to the craft though she may be, Olsen has some hefty material under her belt: the chilling Martha Marcy May Marlene and the forthcoming Allen Ginsberg thriller Kill Your Darlings. Though a part amongst the likes of superstars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and co. might be a daunting task for a 24-year-old with only a handful of titles to her name, Olsen's acting prowess seems to be on a steady incline. Scarlet Witch might be her final step into legitimate stardom.

Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart fell sick with a nasty bout of salmonella poisoning last month (Nov12) after handling too many Thanksgiving turkeys.
The cookery expert was forced to cancel a series of public appearances, including a job hosting a tribute gala for Neil Sedaka in Manhattan, after contracting the nasty food-borne bug, which causes nausea, vomiting, cramps and diarrhoea.
Stewart is convinced she came down with the illness after handling raw turkey during a number of TV cookery appearances around the American holiday (22Nov12).
She tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "I never get sick, but I came down with salmonella. I think I caught it because I was handling so many turkeys around Thanksgiving. I was on the Today show, I did a number of other (Thanksgiving) appearances. It really hit me hard and I was in bed for days. It was terrible. I lost some weight, though."

In the past 12 months, we watched as Ryan Lochte took the London Summer Olympics by storm, epic Hollywood couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise called it quits, and President Barack Obama was elected for a second term. We were transfixed by the The Hunger Games long before it hit theaters in March, and women the world over were mesmerized by the BDSM sexual exploits of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey. But what about next year? Will 2013 pack the same pop culture punch as 2012?
According to Psychic Medium Barb Powell, it will — that is, if we don't all go down on Doomsday (Dec. 21). She predicts what's going to happen in the coming year, and boy, is it a doozy.
Psychic Predicts 2013:
1. Kate Middleton won't name her baby Diana.
"I know it's going to be a girl," Powell says. "People think that they are going to name the baby Diana after [Prince William's] late mom. I just don’t see that. I think they're going to include [Princess Diana] in some way, but I don't see [the baby] being named Diana."
2. Who will win big at the Oscars?
"Best Picture, I'm leaning towards Argo," Powell says. "Best Actor would be Daniel Day Lewis. Best Actress [will be] Jessica Chastain."
3. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will break up for good.
"I know there's talk about marriage — I just don't see it," Powell says. "By the middle towards the end of 2013, that would be it between them. It would be done forever."
4. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis will also split.
"I know that they've been seen around a lot and going hot and heavy, but I certainly don't believe that they are in for the long hall," Powell says. "Mila is a distraction for him. I think she's on the rebound as well. As for Ashton, going into 2013, there's no balance in this guy's life. In 2013, he's likely to drop her. They are going to break up. And he's more inclined to embrace chaos in his life in 2013. His career will go along fine, but a lot partying, running around, chaos." 5. Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes will still be going strong. "They will get engaged in 2013," Powell says. "I like their energy together. They're not hugely out there with their personal lives. And also, expect pregnancy with those two in 2013. [But] I don't see them completely walking down the aisle in 2013." 6. Christina Aguilera will completely lose it. "I see a huge decline in her emotional and mental state in 2013," Powell says. "She's just going to fall completely, completely apart. She’s kind of a mess right now. 2013 will just be a complete decline with her." 7. Lindsay Lohan will do time. "She will completely, almost disappear out of public eye towards the middle-end of 2013," Powell says. "She's going to be made an example of. She's going to get locked up for a while." 8. Martha Stewart will face a crisis. "Shes going to have huge money problems," Powell says. "She's going to try to disappear. But certainly in the next few years, I see her kind of turning everything around. I certainly think she can rebuild what she [will lose next year]." 9. The Dawson's Creek gang will get their reunion. "Yes. Absolutely. For sure there's going to be a reunion with that," Powel says. 10. Will Taylor Swift ever find true love? "I don't think she's going to find the love of her life," Powell says. "She'll be tied to at least three people in 2013. She gets around. She can be a bit needy. It's going to be a long while before she ties the knot and settles down with anybody. [And] we can expect more songs from her." 11. A vintage power couple will make a comeback. "We are going to hear a lot about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner," Powell says. "I keep feeling that Ben is going to be this huge guy in 2013. It almost reminds me of the next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They are the next 'it' type of couple." 13. And what of singing competition shows?" The Voice is going to survive another round," Powell says. "American Idol is certainly on its way out. It might be its last go. The X Factor is going to be coming back." 14. Chris Brown and Rihanna will continue to make us want to vomit. "I certainly see some back-and-forth with them," Powell says. "But it's almost going to be a quick engagement. I wouldn't be surprised about a marriage, but it's not going to last. [Also, I see] a pregnancy. All in 2013." 15. Will Revenge get good again? "The way it feels, the next season for them, the writers are going to throw in even more ridiculous scenes," Powell says. "I don't think it's going to come back in a flourish and fans aren't going to be all over it again. I don't see a huge comeback." 16. Britney Spears will finally be back on track, and back on top. "Britney Spears is on a huge comeback," Powell says. "She's going to be making a lot more music. I don't see any breakdowns for her. She's going to come back with a flourish and take control of her life." Follow Lindsey on Twitter @LDiMat.
